Market report for Thursday, October 30, 2025
Data sourced from USDA AMS
View USDA PDF VersionCompared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 15.00-25.00 lower on a light test. Demand was good for a light supply. A couple of days with the board in the green has provided some much needed confidence back into the market and although prices were slightly lower, some of the chaos of the last two weeks seems to be settling down with cooler heads and market fundamentals prevailing. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower.
